Ep 055 "The Shapiro-Ferguson Kerfuffle: History at War""

I am the Smedley D. Butler Fellow for Military Affairs at the Libertarian Institute.

They asked me to comment on the recent podcast interview between Ben Shapiro and Niall Ferguson which of course, was a reaction to Darryl Cooper's (Martyrmade Podcast) recent appearance on Tucker Carlson.

I find members of the academic historian cartel (even "right of center" types like Ferguson) are horrified that non-credentialed historical observers are weighing in on the consequences of war in history. I urge everyone to deprogram yourselves and listen to the rogue but right historians like Martyrmade and ProfCJ's Dangerous History podcasts to get the better and more accurate view of what actually happened in the past that shapes our present.

Here's what you must realize about war: wars are won by the least incompetent forces and the world will not be shiny and new at the conclusion but it will different.

I address some of these issues.

I would urge you to listen to CG podcast Episode 052 on Churchill for a more in-depth indictment of His Nibs.
